- The Single Regatta Licence is available throughout the whole NSW season; however, the licence will be valid only for the day(s) of the subscribed regatta only within NSW. Please contact Rowing NSW directly at office@rowingnsw.asn.au if you wish to purchase a Single Regatta Licence.
- Members who purchase the Single Regatta Licence will be covered by Rowing NSW’s insurance policy only on the day(s) of competition but not prior to or after the dates of the subscribed regatta unless they obtain an existing non-competitive membership.
- Individuals must be members of a rowing club or school program to access the Single Regatta Licence.

How your membership fee is important to you & the Rowing NSW community
Contributes to our Clubs & Schools rowing season
Not only does your membership fee provide the relevant programs and resources for the wider Rowing NSW community, it also enables us to work closely with our NSW affiliated Clubs & Schools that strive to make sure your rowing needs are met.
Rowing NSW continues to work with our Clubs & Schools to create rowing events that source the best opportunities for our community.
Continued Partnerships
Your support enables Rowing NSW to maintain and grow the strong partnerships we have with our many sponsors and stakeholders throughout the years. These partners are a huge part of our rowing community and empower us to deliver high quality rowing experiences, programs and venues.
Insurance Coverage
Your membership fees ensure that you are covered by insurance whilst both training and racing and even attending or volunteering at Rowing NSW sanctioned events. The Rowing NSW insurance program has been specifically designed to cater to our rowing community to protect you when something does not quite go to plan. Insurance coverage is only valid after your membership has been renewed.
